Turn the beat around.
Love to hear percussion.
Turn it upside down.
Love to hear percussion.
Love to hear it.
Blow horns, you sure sound
pretty!
Your bottom lips keep moving
to the nitty gritty.
But when you hear the scratch
of the guitars scratching.
Then you know that rhythm
carries all the action.
Turn the beat around.
Love to hear percussion.
(Move your feet when you
feel the beat!)
Turn it upside down.
Love to hear percussion.
Love to hear it.
Flute player, play your flute,
cause
I know that you want to get
jumping.
But you see, I've made up
my mind about
It's got to be the rhythm,
no doubt about it.
Cause when the guitar player
starts playing with the syncopated rhythm
With the scratch, scratch,
scratch
Makes me want to move my
body, yeah yeah yeah!
And when the drummer starts
beating that beat,
Beating the outside beat
with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat
on a drum.
Turn the beat around.
Love to hear percussion.
Turn it upside down.
Love to hear percussion.
Love to hear it.
